GROCERY WARNING - PART 2 Metabolic disruptors found in everyday foods and groceries Now let's get to the issue of looking at more of the disease-promoting ingredients found in everyday foods and groceries. As you'll learn here, these ingredients are responsible for causing cancer, heart disease, diabetes, nervous system disorders, and much more. And the most amazing part in all this is that you can go to any grocery store and find these exact ingredients listed right on the labels! Let's start with one of the most toxic additives of all: sodium nitrite.

In this book, you'll learn how these diseases are actually promoted by toxic ingredients in everyday foods and groceries. You'll also learn how to identify those ingredients and avoid them for life. Once you start putting this information into practice, you'll start noticing positive results in as little as five days. Your health progress will accelerate in the subsequent weeks and months, and you will continue to notice significant progress in your health year after year.

GROCERY WARNING - PART 3 Grocery Products That Are Dangerous To Your Health Suffering from soft drinks Now let's take a look at the next problem found in everyday foods and groceries consumed by most Americans: soft drinks. Generally speaking, we are a nation of people hooked on soft drinks. As I know from personal experience - and perhaps your own experience agrees with this - many of us became overweight or obese in the first place by engaging in diets very high in soft drink consumption.

Summing it up So now you've seen my recommended list of groceries and products that are safe to purchase and consume. It's not the entire list of things that are good for you, of course, so be sure to experiment with this list and expand on it in ways that work best for you. What this list does allow you to do, however, is to eat well while avoiding metabolic disrupters that are linked to diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and other serious health problems.

Although I frequently recommend organic products and groceries over non-organic ones, this is one case where both varieties appear to do more harm than good. I recommend avoiding them both. The 30-day no-dairy diet Try the 30-day no-dairy diet and see how you feel. That is, take a 30-day period and eliminate dairy products from your diet completely. Gauge how you feel, and especially note changes in your bowel movements, ease of breathing, and the state of your sinuses if you have experienced sinus congestion in the past.

Artificial chemical sweeteners One of the clangers of eating everyday foods and groceries is turning to products that contain artificial chemical sweeteners. Sweeteners like aspartame, acesulfame, and sucralose are all made of artificial chemicals and are suspected of promoting serious health disorders, primarily neurological ones. Aspartame Of all the chemical sweeteners that are still legal (cyclamates were banned years ago), aspartame by far has the worst record.

The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? Byron J. Richards See book keywords and concepts

The energy required to carry a bag of groceries in from the car requires that nerve impulses go to the muscles to coordinate the action of picking up the groceries and walking into the house. Adrenaline is what makes the muscles move and contract. Without adrenaline a person is stuck at the stop sign, idling and sputtering, or parked in bed, too tired to do anything. There are many shades of gray between high adrenaline panic and the mundane activity of bringing in a bag of groceries.

New "Guess This Meat" video shows processed meats up close Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Both the video and the website are intended to educate consumers about processed meat products, encouraging them to make healthful food choices when shopping for groceries or consuming food items. Non-processed meat is healthier than processed meats due to the absence of preservative chemicals such as sodium nitrite. Free-range, organic meats are even better, and eliminating meats from the diet is an ideal choice for many people who are wishing to maximize personal health while greatly reducing the environmental impact of the foods they consume.

You need good, strong muscles to meet the typical demands of the day, such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, picking up young children, cleaning your home, riding horseback, swimming in a lake, going for a hike or bike ride, or performing other natural activities, without being at risk for injury. The best way to increase muscle tone and strength is to quickly raise heart and muscle activity to the point of panting, followed by a period of low activity (called "active recovery"). One to two-minute intervals (of activity and rest) are ideal.

Whole Foods, funny math and the five dollar avocado (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Interestingly, that's only about one bag full of groceries from a typical Whole Foods store. The last time I visited, I ended up buying a hundred dollars worth of raw food snacks. Thanks to Whole Foods, my monthly food bill now nearly exceeds my house payment! But I love every bite of it, and if it wasn't for this natural grocery chain being in Phoenix, I think I would literally have to move to California or Boulder, Colorado just to get near one.

The Fair Tax: Why it's good for you and good for America Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

When you go to the grocery store and buy groceries, you would find them to be a lot less expensive. That's because there are taxes on all of the foods and grocery products that you purchase. And this is true across all products, not just groceries: automobiles, recreational products and services, travel, housing, clothing and so on. Every product or service that you purchase has a much higher price than it normally would because the providers of those products and services are also paying payroll taxes for their employees, and their employees are paying additional taxes.

John Hammell of International Advocates for Health Freedom discusses health freedom under siege; Part 2 Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Now you might wonder why a person would look at it that way, considering that I have to put up with being in a long line of cars just to go buy my groceries at Thrifty Foods in Tawasson, British Columbia, which is the closest supermarket to me. I have to leave my country to go buy groceries, and I do not even mind waiting in line at the border to do that, even if it means sometimes waiting 45 minutes just to get across the line into Canada. The reason I do not mind waiting in line is that I would not want to be part of the Canadian system. They do not have freedom in Canada.

Moreover, if you don't have enough money for the rent, the car has broken down again, and you live with a continual shortfall in groceries, your days are more stressful than if you have no such worries. Stress in and of itself is known to play a strong role in disease manifestation. Stress also leads to more "health risk behaviors"—poor diet, alcohol abuse, and so on, which can in turn lead to poorer health outcomes. Could the researchers prove that the number of people with autoimmune disease in the East Ferry area of Buffalo was statistically significant enough to be a cluster?

Pharmacies had also been built inside the megastores like Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, and Kmart. On Civic Mills Parkway in the booming suburban city of West Des Moines, the newly built pharmacies came one after another. In the last four-mile stretch of the parkway, which ended just as it became gravel and turned into cornfields, pharmacies outnumbered gas stations and fast-food joints.

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet Mark Lynas See book keywords and concepts

Queues formed in supermarkets as consumers panic-bought groceries. People drove for miles to find petrol stations that hadn't run dry. In central Wales, cows stood unmilked in the fields at the same time as milk in plastic bottles sold out in all the shops. With the only usable churns now in the museum, even getting milk two hundred yards from farm to shop required big articulated lorries, which cart the product nearly a hundred miles to a centralised packaging and distribution point and then back again. And all that, of course, requires diesel.

HOW TO SELECT AN D STORE Brazil nuts can be found in whole-food groceries and some supermarkets year-round. They can be purchased raw, both unshelled and shelled. If already shelled, they may be roasted in oil or dry-roasted. The availability of fresh nuts in the shell— the healthiest choice since the shell protects the nut's delicate fats—is more seasonal, with the supply being best soon after the nuts are harvested, in fall and early winter. When choosing Brazil nuts in the shell, look for clean shells that don't rattle when shaken—a sign they are well filled.

NewsTarget survey results, part 1: Huge percentage of readers make healthy changes Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Now, part of me is wondering why it is not 100 percent, but the answer may be that one-third of our readers already have really good health habits when it comes to shopping for groceries or consuming food. But still, to be able to help improve the food choices of two-thirds of the readers is a significant achievement and all the credit, of course, goes to the readers who made their own choices and changed their own habits in order to improve their food consumption patterns. Imagine if we could get two-thirds of the entire nation, to improve its food purchasing and consumption habits.
